Barbell Club WOD, April 19, 2025
Barbell Club – Sat, Apr 19
Focus
- For today’s Main Lift, slowly lower the bar to the mid-thigh with the shoulders in front of the bar. Hold for :02, then snatch the bar overhead.
- Begin your first working set around 50% of your best snatch.
- For Accessory – I, the halting snatch deadlift involves stopping and holding at the mid-thigh with the shoulders in front of the bar and NEVER standing to full extension. Hold the mid-thigh position for :03. All sets should be heavier than your top set from the Main Lift.
- For Accessory – II, use a load for the muscle snatches and rows that can be done unbroken. Build in load if desired.
